PARIS - U.S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates was in Kabul at the start of June talking about withdrawal - or nonwithdrawal - from Afghanistan, but before he went home he stopped through Singapore to talk about an enlarged American military engagement in Asia. That was a speech to an International Institute for Strategic Studies meeting, in support of "a robust [U.S.] military presence in Asia." He said that one of the "principal security challenges" for the United States is that some nation would try to keep it out of Asia. He said that for some time American Naval and Air Force chiefs "have been concerned about anti-access and area denial scenarios," and have been planning how to overcome any effort to block American free movement and deployment "in defense of our allies and vital inter...

John of Gaunt' s majestic speech in Shakespeare's Richard II, in which he attacks the king's mismanagement of the kingdom and his securitization of future revenues through "leasing" is a searing attack on what today might be called "public -private partnerships": This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England, This nurse, this teeming womb of royal kings, Fear'd by their breed as far from home, For Christian service and true chivalry, As is the sepulchre in stubborn Jewry Of the world's ransom, blessed Mary's Son; This land of such dear souls, this dear, dear land, Dear for her reputation through the world, Is now leas' d out - I die pronouncing it - Like a tenement or pelting farm.

San Anselmo's been a pleasant place to set down roots and raise a family as far back as a century ago, when the town's picnic-friendly creekside orchards and strict anti-alcohol ordinances made it a wholesome alternative to those neighboring examples of municipal wickedness, San Rafael and Fairfax. Before then San Anselmo was little more than the east-west hub of the North Coast Pacific Railway, but after the 1906 earthquake city folk flocked to this sylvan, sun-dappled setting to begin a new life. Today the town's attractive homes, matchless weather, handsome library, excellent restaurants and beautifully preserved creekside maintain its family-friendly reputation. San Anselmo's strong community spirit is reflected in the many municipal festivals it hosts each summer. Almost all of the...
Although accounts of how race (and class) punctuated the elimination of African American midwives are well documented,6 this article further explores how downplaying the racial privilege of white midwives, medical personnel, and other figures in African American midwives' narratives has problematic implications for a contemporary midwifery movement that prides itself on inclusivity and its benefit to all women. INFLUENCES ON THE CONTEMPORARY MOVEMENT FOR MIDWIVES The continued emphasis on the narrative accounts of African American midwives within the history of not only midwifery in the United States but also African American culture and life opens up possibilities for important discussions of race and the effects of a legacy of racism that still affects contemporary midwives in thei...

This paper discusses the increasing diversity in the accounting profession. Evidence is presented substantiating that over one third of recent accounting graduates are from ethnic minority backgrounds, the majority of whom are Asian/Pacific Islanders. In our university specific data, we find an even higher percentage (71%) of ethnic minorities receiving accounting degrees, with Asian/Pacific Islanders as the majority group. We also show that over one fourth of new accounting graduates hired by accounting firms are ethnic minorities of which fifty percent are Asian/Pacific Islanders. However, a recent survey by the AICPA indicates that only 4% of partners in accounting firms are ethnic minorities, again half of whom are Asian/Pacific Islanders. Due to the predominance of this ethnic grou...
